chapter 27
Episode 27-To apologize to this guy?
Yang Ga-hyun looked down at me while drinking coffee.
I thought he called because he was mad at me, but his face was softer than I thought.
“Will Joo-eun not eat?”
“Wait a minute…”
I adjusted her straw, being careful not to show her face.
“You don’t have to do that, I know your face.”
Yang Ga-hyun said with a faint smile on her face.
‘Did I get caught…’
I saw it just before I woke up from my dream, so I thought I couldn’t remember or not know, but it seems that it was too much to completely hide my face with just that much.
“Here’s the nose…”
Her index finger jabbed my nose.
“The mouth is here.”
She took a picture of the center of my mouth.
“The corner of the mouth is here.”
This time, I pressed exactly where the corners of my lips are.
I wondered if she had been thinking of my face all along at her overly accurate senses.
Considering Gahyun Yang’s personality and the ripple effect of her face, it wasn’t that strange that she had been thinking of my face all along.
“Right?”
“Right.”
She let out a deep sigh and nodded her head as if she knew it.
“Since you already know your face, can’t you show your face when you’re with me?”
“Is that why you took the room?”
Yang Ga-hyun nodded her head.
‘I wanted to use it more impactfully than this…’
Revealing your face is a very impactful event.
It was a good way to let you know that I was thinking of you very much, but I felt like I was wasting this great opportunity.
‘I can’t help it…’
Since your face has already been caught once, continuing to cover your face is an action with a huge penalty.
I took a deep breath and looked around.
There was no window, the door was always closed, and there was no CCTV.
Even if I revealed my face, there was only one woman in front of me who could identify my face.
‘Still, did I use this enough?’
When Yang Ga-hyun was suffering from a nightmare of the past, when he checked the person who saved him, he said that the face he saw was my face, so he thought it was good enough.
It took some time to untie the scarf because it was firmly secured so that it would not come loose.
-Gulp…
It seemed that I wasn’t the only one who was nervous.
Every time the scarves piled up on my face were loosened one by one, I could see Yang Ga-hyun’s tension growing.
The sound of her swallowing was so loud I could hear how nervous she was.
“Wow…”
Yang Ga-hyun’s reaction when I completely untied the scarf and exposed my face to the air was really monotonous.
Looking at me while opening my mouth.
Then he stared at me blankly for about three minutes, and I sincerely wondered if he had a heart attack when he saw my face.
“Wow… Really… So cute…”
These were the first words Yang Ga-hyun said after the long freeze was lifted.
Her eyes were fixed exactly on my face.
[Yang Ga-hyun’s condition gets better after checking your face.]
“Can I touch your face?”
She reached out her hand right in front of my cheek to inadvertently touch my face and said, shaking her body slightly.
Perhaps he thoughtlessly tried to touch my cheek, but finally stopped after realizing that he shouldn’t touch it carelessly.
“If I say no, won’t you touch me?”
Yang Ga-hyun’s face quickly became depressed.
“Only this time.”
This time, it suddenly turned red again and caressed my face.
“Wow… That’s crazy…”
The way she touched my face was more like the way she touched expensive porcelain or something rather than a person’s face.
It was such a delicate touch that I could feel the agony of what to do if it broke after giving it strength.
“How do humans look so cute?”
Yang Ga-hyun’s breathing began to become noticeably rough.
Seeing that the other hand was slowly coming up, I thought something like this would happen, so I picked up the scarf and wrapped it around my face again.
“Ah…”
Yang Ga-hyun sighed in regret and looked at me momentarily with rough eyes.
That gaze was so blatant that I was worried for nothing.
Fortunately, Yang Ga-hyun was a woman who could control her nature with her reason, and with a deep sigh she could control her nature and look at me with the right posture.
“It was worth covering up.”
“Block your nose with a tissue and speak.”
She wouldn’t feel dizzy, let alone nosebleed, if it was Yang Ga-hyun, but red blood was flowing from her nose before she knew it.
“Oh, okay.”
With Yang Ga-hyun covering her nose with a tissue, she stared at me.
She stood up with a cup of coffee because something big was going to happen if it stayed like this.
“Then I’ll leave.”
“Huh? Go already?”
“I have something to study personally. Shouldn’t you also practice individually?”
Yang Ga-hyun looked at me with a pitiful expression, but I was not the kind of person who would stop her with such a pitiful expression.
Eventually, we left the cafe together and returned to the dormitory together.
“Okay. It’s our room key.”
Yang Ga-hyun held out her card key to me.
“Okay, I’m not going to give you the key.”
“Because you can take mine. Just take it.”
I had no choice but to receive the card key and move to my room at the hand of Yang Ga-hyun, who half forcibly pushed out the cart.
“Whoa…”
As soon as I got back to my room, I took out the pieces of grass and fruits I had dug up in advance, put them in my coffee, and looked at the things I had gained from catching the nightmare this time.
[Power +2]
[Skill: Shine of Soul]
Still, I caught a boss-level monster, but I was disappointed that they only gave me this.
Especially in the case of magic, since there is no skill to use magic, it is still meaningless, so in reality, the only thing I got was the sparkle of the soul.
[Soul Sparkle]
[Player Skills]
[You have already lived a life without regrets.]
[When others look at you, they can notice an instinctive sense of intimidation and your greatness.]
[Comment: Thank you very much for your hard work.]
It’s a player skill…
It was a skill of a type I had never seen before in Apocalypse Escape, but I got a rough idea of it.
It must mean that it is not a skill acquired as Lee Joo-eun, but a skill acquired as me.
‘It’s just a skill you say, don’t you already have it?’
Almost everyone I’ve seen had a crush on me by looking into my eyes, but at this point I wondered if the skill wasn’t working.
As I was looking at the skill window with that thought in mind, a line was added along with a crackling sound effect.
[Active Effect: When you first meet, you can make a strong first impression by consuming mana.]
I didn’t think it was that big of a deal, so I skipped it over and took out the glue and berries from the coffee.
Then, after pouring as much coffee into the cup as possible, he put it into his mouth.
‘Eating like this makes me feel better.’
I want to keep it for as long as possible.
*********
“… What are you doing here?”
“I just came after some personal training.”
Park Soo-hyun spoke calmly, but he was so strong that Yang Ga-hyun looked at him with a shocked expression.
He must have been able to grow to this extent since he took one essence alone.
-Nod
I felt Park Soo-hyun’s gaze on me and nodded lightly.
It was a motion meant to safely capture the nightmare, but he blew me a small blow while laughing.
The first thing I thought was that it was ridiculous when the guy who had only shown a cold and hard side until now made fun of the big bang, but I felt better for no reason because I felt like I was recognized.
‘If he grows up the way he does and I grow up the way I do, I’ll be more helpful in ending this damn era.’
– Boom!!
As I was thinking about that, the side wall suddenly shattered and something rained down on me.
When I saw the wall materials flying at me and thought, “This is f*cking f*cked,” A blue curtain covered my front.
-Kung!!
All the debris flying toward me fell to the ground, blocked by the shield.
“What are you doing all of a sudden!”
Lee Seo-yeon shouted in an uncharacteristically excited voice.
“Oh, sorry… Did I come in too radically?”
Lee Seo-yeon’s bloody voice originally said, “Park Soo-hyun! Let’s fight with me!” The white-haired woman who should have appeared proudly began to notice Lee Seo-yeon.
“Why did you break down the wall? If the wall collapses, repair costs are a problem, but you can get hit by rubble and get hurt. Are you an idiot who doesn’t know how to be considerate of others?”
“Sorry…”
The sight of Lee Seo-yeon pressing her mouth open with her rapid-fire cannon prevented her from even talking about her main purpose after breaking through the wall.
“Don’t apologize to me, apologize to Lee Joo-eun, who almost suffered the most damage.”
I used the twinkle of her soul just in time to turn her head towards me.
Will this work for a character who can be seen as the standard of contempt for the weak?
“… To apologize to this guy?”
The moment she saw me, a strong frown formed on her face.
‘As expected, there is no universal skill.’
